A beach house needs to be comfortable and easy care, impervious to sand and salt water, with soft and calm colors. The view outside needs to take precedence over the view inside. That means distressed wood, stone, weathered paint finishes, easy care slipcovers, painted fresh white woodwork, and the muted colors of sand, sea, driftwood, sea glass, and shells. Toss in the cry of gulls, sound of surf and ocean breeze and a porch or patio to take it all in - and you have HEAVEN.

WHY NOT MAKE YOUR HOME BEAUTIFUL?

You can do a lot with a little help. A little help with color and fabric, with furniture placement, window treatments and a little help with the vision for a room. Most people get stuck at color - and I'm here to help. I can answer a simple question on the blog and even more via long distance decorating. You decide what you need. You can do it. I promise.

THE RULES

1. You need to follow me. Since I most often post the answers to this blog, you won't know when your question is answered if you are not a follower.. plus I just want more followers anyway...

2. I can only answer one question. (Sorry, if you need more help I have long distance design and color consult help available - see tab at top of blog).

3. I need pictures. I need help visualizing your space. A photo works wonders, in fact the more, the better. Many times I get descriptions without photos that leave me with questions - but a photo helps me to not only visualize your space, but see other factors that impact the design recommendations I will make. I take this stuff very seriously - so help me out!

4. Finally, give me a little lead time. I try to answer first come first served - and there may be others ahead of you. So, patience, but if you need help quickly, email me.
